Even if we don't realize it; in fact we do bring it on ourselves. The Secret teaches us how to bring only what we want into our life and focus on the positive and not the negative. This Blog will be about learning and living The Secret.Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.comBlogger194125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-24796221765381526222014-02-08T22:30:00.000-08:002014-02-08T22:30:03.431-08:00I wasn't kidding when I said changesthere's changes happening everywhere I will be moving soon and just starting a completely new chapter of my life no make that starting a whole new entire book!!!! there will be exciting happy twist and turns with every page so stay tuned that's all I have to say for now!!!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-10117426751195989612014-01-21T08:12:00.000-08:002014-01-21T08:12:10.853-08:00Change is gonna come.. I couldn't even tell you exactly tell you how long ago it was that I discovered the secret, I wanna say it was in 2005 maybe, but I remember the night sitting in my living room and finding the documentary that changed my life. I really took hold of what I learned that night . And it still amazes me what a difference it made. Changeling your thought process really makes a world of change. I wish it was easier done then said. You have more negative thoughts then you think you do when you pay attention. It simply takes practice, lots of practice to turn them around. Sometimes you don't realize your effecting your surroundings negatively . " ugh I'm so tired today " ... That statement doesn't exactly seem negative but your putting it out there that " your tired" , well the universe responds and you stay tired . I know seems so simple right! So when the tired feeling comes over you just say the opposite " I'm feeling so awake and refreshed" keep repeating it , imagine in your mind what it feels like to feel wide awake and refreshed , eventually your body has no choice but to respond to what your mind is thinking. Like I said it takes practice , lots of it!!! So when I first learned about the Secret I practiced and practiced, and my life was changing everything was getting better . It stayed that way for a long time. I guess I got to comfortable and feel very badly out of practice. I am back at it . It's not something that you can do a lil here and there and expect it to work, and once it's working for you , you have to keep at it, there's no automatic happiness button, you have to work at it. Every lil bit counts. A positive thought is a thousand times stronger then a negative one. Just since I started blogging again I feel uplifted. The good thing about staying in practice is there is no glass ceiling, you can only keep getting happier and bringing abundance into your life. The saying you can do anything you set your mind to is true. But if your mind is in a dark space then that's what your life will be surrounded by is darkness. So make an effort to bring light into your life. Think happy thoughts!!! Practice makes perfect!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-52768623201552839812014-01-17T21:45:00.001-08:002014-01-17T21:45:23.518-08:00Freaky FridayIt's the weekend TGIF !! Not really a whole lot going I on but one of my favorite shows! Ghost adventures! It's helps that the guys on the show are not to bad to look at lol I like the show Taps too, but I feel like they try to hard to debunk things and maybe over debunk. I don't need proof of the paranormal I have experienced so much of it through out my life. As far back as I can remember I have seen or heard ghost, not neccassarily full body apparitions. But lots of things out of the corner of my eye type stuff or other strange happenings. In a house I lived in a few years back I was all alone and there weren't any near bye neighbors and the tv and stearo were not on, plain as day very loudly I hear " stop" , I stopped what I was doing and looked up and even the dog that was laying at my feet looked up with her ears perked so she heard it too! I said " hello?" Heard nothing I said " stop what?" and still didn't hear anything lol so I went about my buisness. It didn't startle me I know most of the time they just want to be noticed. My husband on the other hand would have been running out of the house lmao! When I was very young 3 I think I would see a lady in the basement of our house she would appear on the wall as if she where a picture, she would summon me " come here Kelly I want to talk to you" . I remember it well, she would come often. I was always to scared to go see what she wanted. I would run to my mom and my mom would never find anyone, she never appeared to anyone but me. For years I hoped to find out who she was and during a deep trance reading ( I wasn't in a trance the reader was lol) told me she was my twin from a past life. It was very cool to learn. The house I live in now I swear must have been built on sacred grounds or there's just a lot of energy for spirits to use because of the lake , I'm not sure but not a day goes by that I don't see or hear something or something strange doesn't happen. 2 days after moving in we were sleeping in huge living room and about 4 am the front door just slowly creeps open. What made me open my eyes and look is I thought I heard foot steps near the door like maybe the dog, the house was silent no one up and moving, I remember my son locking the door before he went up to bed lol I woke up my hubby and he looked around and found nothing and shut and re locked the door and was of course totally freaked out . It would be cool if one of these ghost buster shows would get something solid undeniable on record one day but I doubt that will ever happen. There's Toni's of evidence out there that is wonderful but there will always be a skeptic in the crowd. Oh well it will be cool to pass on and get to be a ghost and walk through walls and scare people and shit lol have a good weekend everyone happy haunts!!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-72678239112863593052014-01-14T20:44:00.001-08:002014-01-14T20:44:49.368-08:00Ugh more snow!! And it's snowing again , it's I really coming down out there, the news said 5- 6 inches maybe! I have to laugh because I don't know why I am surprised lol it sure ain't the city up up here, even though they have got as much snnow downstate as we have this year. I don't really mind I think the snow is beautiful . I just don't like it on the roads and when it turns icy. The ice makes it difficult to get up and down my ramp in my wheelchair, even with salt it don't really help. Ice on the roads scares the shit out of me and I just assume not go anywhere at all. Now I know why bears hibernate in the winter. I am a home body I like being at home, I am the type of person if you wanna hang out then come to my house, I don't mind company at all. But I think I'm getting just a tad bit of cabin fever. I like my monthly shopping trips lol I recently went down state to pick up my daughter she was staying with her gram over the holiday break. My plan was to stay all weekend but had to cut it short and leave Saturday afternoon cuz the snow storm was coming. We made it home safe and missed all the bad weather thank goodness. The next day I didn't think we had got hit that bad up here so I decide I'm going to go the 20 miles to Mt Pleasant to go to Walmart and Sams club. Well I made it about 10 miles down the freeway to the next city and was freaking out he whole way, the roads were horrible , I got off the freeway and took the back way home so 20 miles round trip later it had been almost 2 hours, I could only go 10 15 miles per hour. I miss my envoy with 4 wheel drive, I wouldn't have went any faster but if I did end up off the road I know I would have been able to get out of a sticky situation. Don't get me wrong I love my sexy black Chrysler but she don't love the bad roads lol. Like I said I'm not surprised about the snow it was actually something I was looking forward to. The first time I ever came up here with my friends to visit, it was in the winter, I was in awe of the snow, it wasn't all black and dirty like it gets downstate from the traffic. People were on their roofs shoveling that was a site to see lol. We spent the night at my friends in laws and they lived kinda out in the woods. When I woke up in the morning ( I was sleeping on the couch), I sat up looked out the window and I was absolutely mesmerized !!!! It was like something on a Christmas card a winter wonderland, there were snow covered pine trees all over , a pretty lil frozen pond out front, sparking iceicles and it was lightly snowing. I just sat there for what seemed like at least an hour, it was quiet and peaceful, so relaxing. Well everyone else in the house started to wake and the day started. Later my fri end and I were talking and I brought up how I had been sitting just enjoy ingot he scenery, and she had been in the bedroom looking out the window doing the same thing as me. I said that day that I was gonna live up here one day, well here I am snowed in lol I think we will be investing in snowmobiles before next winter, they would be a blast! Don't get me wrong I miss being downstate in the city, there a lot easier and more convienatly access to things and I can't say I will stay here forever , I never know when my other personality ( I'm a Gemini ) might pop in and say fuck this shit we are out lol ! Plus my momma is down there so I go as often as possiable . Well there has already been so much schooled cancelled everywhere up here I don't know if it will be a snow day tommorow or not. Downstate if it's 3 inches they usually call a snow day but not up here, I'm not sure with 5 inches if they will close or not. My daughter always says the bus driver can't drive so it makes me a nervous wreck the thought of her on that bus if it's bad out, so we will see she might be haveing to get drove by us the next couple days.
Excuse the typos I have know idea why it's giving me such a hard time editing, I click were I want to edit or spell check and the curser ends up somewhere totally different then I can't get it to move, it's like the damn thing has a mind of its own ugh!Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-52965462628232431942014-01-13T10:18:00.000-08:002014-01-13T10:18:18.861-08:00Monday isn't always bad...Well my days and nights have been totally mixed up, I finally fell asleep at a decent hour last night and stayed awake when I woke up this morning after getting Gracie off to school. I need to try to keep my self motivated so I got my ass off the couch took my shower and made my dinner for the next two nights, and then got the kitchen all nice and cleaned and cleaned the bathroom and now it is only a few minutes before 1 in the afternoon and I am amazed at how much I actually did today, it feels pretty good. I think I might even crack a cold one lol After a few important phone calls I have to make I will be done for the day. Ohhhh what did I make you ask... Well for tonight's dinner I made stuffed cabbage which isn't one of the things I specialize in lol it usually falls apart and ends up being cabbage soup it's good but not quit like my moms or grams would have made. This time I did it a lil different and it didn't fall apart hopefully it taste as good as it looks. I also made a meat loaf for tommorow dinner but I think the kids will dip into it tonight, I don't think they will eat the stuffed cabbage. My meatloaf is actually a specialty, it's a simple recipe and I don't always do it exactly the same depending on the ingredients I have on hand but rather the ketchup I use Catalina dressing in the mix and BBQ sauce on top, it usually is very yummy. I pride myself on my cooking , I am not an expert chef there has been a few things I have botched lol but for the most part I don't get any complaints. My grandma was a god cook I learned a lot from her, but I learned most everything from my mother she has always been an amazing cook. She had a catering business for several years and was at high demand. I wished she would have had a chance to open a Resturant I know she wanted to but unfortunalty it never happened. Actually I think she learned a lot from my granny ( my dads mom) she had a lot of kids and always cooked big and cooked good as a lot of southern mommas do. There's a lot of good cooks in my family lol that's prob why we're all fat! All that good down home southern comfort food, which you know damn well most of it ain't healthy lol. My daughter is becoming a very good cook to, she likes spending time with my mom and they cook together, they are very close I'm so glad they have that bond. If you ask Grace she will tell you she's a better cook then me lol she says " anyone can cook but not everyone can make it taste good" . Which is a true statement lol so we always have a joke when one of us is cooking about wether it's gonna taste good or not . She's a comedian half the time and a lil snot the other half... Bipolar runs in the family too lol. Well that's all for today peeps
Again I have to add I'm haveing trouble editing to excuse the typosKellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-29227677612142540742014-01-12T14:15:00.001-08:002014-01-12T14:16:45.520-08:00Day n nightI love my son and daughter. Grace is doing so good in school she has lots of friends and seems to actually like it now. I remember my freshman year in school. While I have never been a fan of school, I came home on the first day of kindergarten and too my mom " it's ok but I don't think I will go everyday.." Lol and I never did! But if I had to pick a time at school from what I can remember freshman years would be my favorite. Anyways back to to Grace... I hope she continues to enjoy school. I feel bad because she has had to change schools so many times, but then again she is a social butterfly and has friends all over the map! She is a smart cookie though and she is like me makes the best of any situation, she is smarter then me in many ways ( the lil shit) she has way more street smarts or world knowledge or whatever then I did when I was her age. I have always said she is an old soul. I know she will comin tie to flourish and really make herself something one day. My son Coty he is a whole different breed of kid! Well he's not a kid no more :( he is a grown ass man, he will be 19 this year... I was 19 when I had him omg I feel old! He has always been a good kid , very rarely would I really have to scold him for anything. Well some of the few things that do I have to look back and laugh. For example I woke up about 4 am one day, Coty was 4 or 5 and he was in the living room, I asked him what is he doing. I don't recall him answering but he was playing with our birds, one was o it flying around and the other was in his pocket.... Yup I said pocket lol. But he really was just playing he loves animals, he always had some random rotten or bug or whatever caught outside, when he was like 12 he would wake me up at the break of dawn on the weekends to let me know he was going snake hunting lol. We had a lil tiny piece of wooded area and pond by us and that's were he went . He is still an animal lover he currently has 4 snakes as pets . I say he's a different breed of kid because, he really is. 99 percent of the kids his age are a mess, partying, drugs, haveing baby's, already been arrested a few times, the list goes on. Coty has done none of that. He is so chill, he likes hanging at home. I'm not trying to make it sound like he is some sort of hermit or something, he likes going places as a family when we do stuff, I'm glad my son likes hanging with us. He has friends don't get me wrong, Coty is very likeable, people enjoy his company he doesn't give anyone any reason not to like him. Don't let his big teddy bear ass fool ya, I feel sorry for that first person that crosses the line with him, I can see him opening a can of whoop ass on someone like no other, he is as strong as a damn ox. I have always said how strong my husband is and Coty is way stronger! He might live at home till he's forty but that's ok lol like I said people like Coty he is fun to hang out with and actually when he gets going he is fucking hilarious he is always cracking us up over something. Well I love both my kids so much with all my heart on soul, I have no idea what I would do with out them!!!!
*again a side note I'm haveing a hard time editing for some reason so excuse the typos...

Well it's a new year thank goodness, 2013 totally sucked, I will not go into to much detail because there's no point, it won't change anything, so now lessons learned and moving on. My eyes were opened about a lot of fake people friends and family people I thought that would be by my side no matter what but when things got tough the fake got going, no matter I'm still me in all my greatness I don't need drama or people that think their lives are so great and problem free that they can't be bothered with my problems, not that I ever asked or ever will ask anything of anyone but true friends and family stick by you no matter what and wow did I really find out who those people are. Looking forward to this year and the potential for all good things. Over the last couple years I have greatly lost touch with practicing The Secrect and all the powers that positive thoughts hold and what happens to you when you hold on to negativity. I am slowly retraing my self to embrace only positive thoughts. It's so much easier said then done, especially when you dig yourself a hole as deep as I did lol it not only effected myself but my family, most importantly my kids, so if not for any other reason for them i am getting back on track!! I am determined to be happy I am happy I am healing 2014 is not just a new chapter of a book, it's a whole new damn book, get ready bitches lol I never read 50 shades of gray but it won't have anything on me lol wait was that book about sex ? Lol idk but I know it got everyone excited so I'm all about getting exc<strike><i></i></strike>itted ( not that way , get your mind out of the gutter ) ! Ok I'm off for now . There's some editing in this post that needs to be done but it's giving me a hard time so sorry for any confusion Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-67148227839952349062013-01-06T08:00:00.000-08:002013-01-06T08:00:02.539-08:00Bathroom Reno Stage #2Here is the bathroom stripped down bare, with only the new toilet sink and shower head's installed.

Last but definatly not least, this is the one thing I will be enjoying the most besides the decor... The dual shower heads, one stationary and one hand held with the holder mounted low for me to be able to reach while sitting and the big rain type heads on them I can have either one on or both at the same time hell ya! Theres also a peek in there of the new chrome corner shower caddy the hubby installed.

The theme for my old bathroom was out houses which I still love the idea of but I wanted to switch things up. I am going to save my out house stuff incase we get another house with a 2nd bathroom (which is kinda in the plans in the next year or so).
The new theme is just white, black & gray with just a little tiny, tiny pop of red.
My husband and I have always loved Ansel Adams, but he is a bit out of our price range LOL I definalty wanted a nature feel to the room , we found a really cool big canvas print of a broken up wooden dock for the big wall, I am excitted to see it up. Then I found a cute little 5x7 black and white pic of an old claw tub with just a little red border, for little wall by light switch. For above the mirror,I bought a black and gray wall sticker that is a quote about being yourself and has a small owl and some branches,which was an awesome deal for only .99 cents! I bought a red towel to hang for my pop of red to go with the red in the border of the tub pic. The picture above I put together and had printed out 8x10 I think it is going to go on the wall between the big over the sink mirror and the over the toilet cabinet we are putting up. All the pics in the collage I took and most are from one of our favorite places to visit and even lived there once which is about three hundred miles north of where we live. Oh and the quote with the collage is from Shakespeare... luv him.
I got the prettiest shower curtain it is black with white vines and leafs, black toilet seat cover, rugs and trash can. I found the handiest shower curtain liner, it is clear plastic and has mesh pockest of various sizes on the inside of it for storage, whoever thought that up is great, lol I get happy about lil things! The walls will be a medium gray, not to dark not to light. Which the tile that surrounds the tub and shower are gray bordered by thinner black tiles. The hardware is all new and white and chrome and we have a black and clear storage unit that has replaced the vanity now that we have a pedastol sink. We also got a new chrome light fixture which is very pretty. We even are doing the small stuff like, new towel bars, new toilet paper holder (which I still need to pick one up) and new switches and switch plates. In place of the old medicine cabinet we have a big mirror with a white frame, which was a freebie from the nieghbor that she was going to throw away and there is nothing wrong with it, thank you very much :) and we bought a white cabinet and shelf unit for storage to go above the toilet.
I helped pick out the accessories and the hubby picked out the hardware, I think we did a good job and cant wait to see it all come together!
I know this is a tease with so little pictures LOL but I'm working on building your anticipation LOL More pitures will come soon I promise......Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-42424455192982462062012-12-29T07:00:00.000-08:002012-12-29T07:00:07.280-08:00Bathroom reno stage #1We have started something excitting!!! Renovations on the house!!!! SO... in 20 years not alot has been done to the house other then a coat of paint and new carpet once. Approx. 7 years ago the airport came through the whole neighborhood and put in new windows, outer doors, insulated the attic, put in a new furnace and installed central air( which was awesome that they did all that!).And now that my mother moved out and my family and I have moved in the house. We have been waiting and planning and visioning things we wanted to get done all year and it has finally started!! WOOhooo!
First we had some plumbers come in and take out the laundry room floor and fix and the effed up pipe, they were fast did a great job and did it for a fair price. Now we have started with the bathroom, then kitchen and then were not sure about the order but every room is getting updated. But we started with the smallest to give us that jumpstart. I am sure there will be some bumps but it nevertherless is excitting and a fun and posative change!
Thank goodness I have a handyman husband he's a jack of all trades master off nothing, lol But no seriously I am very thankful and I give him big props because not only is he mostly working on it by himself, with some help from a few very good friends, but he also has me to tend to recovering from surgery and working other side jobs to keep money in our pockets. And I am also so thankful I have two very well adjusted, extremely helpful and patient children, we love them to death!! We are doing it as a family and that is exactly how it should be, LOVE IT!!!
I seriously plan on blogging through the whole thing, but I can not make any promises :(But so far i am off to a good start and at the moment determoned and enthused so here we go........
Bathroom demo... messy and probally the funnest part LOL..

Crying doesnt always have to be a bad thing. Today I have shed some tears, but not over anything that is effecting me in anything way other then love. They were tears of joy;
I am surrounded by amazing people. My family.... I have a husband that has such a good heart he is helping a complete stranger have just a little bit of an easier life this winter. Him and I have had our differance and i wanna punch his lights out sometimes but he is a good man and has so much love to give. I have a 17 year old son that is still his mommas boy, he helps take care of me and waits on me hand and foot if he needs to , with no complaints, most 17 year olds only give a shit about their friends and partying. I have a 13 year old daughter that is more mature and responsable then most 30 year olds I know, she is your typical girly girl with her hair and make up and clothes and shoes and the mall OMG lol But thats one of the reasons I adore her. She like her father has a heart of gold and would bend over backwords for anyone, also like her brother she helps to take care of her momma and has become a very good cook in the process. I will brag all day about my family and I am sure complain too LOL I have a group of Ya -Ya's (aka friends) that are the most Loving, understanding, and giving people I have ever known. Then I have all these extended family members and friends that I dont get to see very often, but I know they are out there and the love is there no matter how near or far away. What more could I ask for. Everyday shoukd bring a new reason to be happy and so happy that it can bring a tear to your eye Look for it, it is there! Reminds me of a quote by a very wise man. Prof. A. Dumbledore, “ happiness can be found in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light”Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-63357329904008723982012-07-06T07:00:00.000-07:002012-07-06T07:00:07.357-07:00Gracie<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

My daughter has been such a gift to me and I couldn't be more thankful. When I say gift I really mean it, she was born just a couple weeks after I lost my grandmother so I feel like my gramma sent this wonderful girl to me to help try and fill a void in my heart after she left this world. And my heart has been overflowing ever since. Before Grace came into this world she was already giving me a run for my money! At the later stages of my pregnancy it became apparent that I had gestational diabetes. And via ultra sounds she seems to be growing very well. In the last month she was to big to tell how big she actually was anymore LOL! I was scheduled for a c section on a Monday morning. The Friday before that Grace decided she was not waiting those couple days and I was in labor. We went to the hospital about 6 and after all the prepping I was in the O.R. just after midnight. My hubby, her dad was with me and sat right by my head hold the puke bucket... poor guy lol. After what seemed like forever the Dr announces its a girl (which we already knew) and they cleaned her up and bundle her up and brought her to me. I couldn't hold her yet because I was still strapped down to the table but daddy held her and put her to my face so I could kiss her. she was a big baby almost 13 pounds!! One of the Drs even said "hurry up and weigh her, I gotta see this" and another Dr said " she was born with a spoon in her mouth". The nurses and every other person in the hospital couldn't get over her. She was so adorable. Came out bright eyed and a head full of black hair. She was taken to the nursery and I was taken to recover in my room. They had to run some extra test beyond the normal ones. She had apparently had a bowl movement while she was still in me, which can be dangerous if she ingested any of it. She was fine perfectly healthy. My mom and hubby left after we were settled in for what was left of the night. The next couple days we spent in the hospital and had visitors from family and hospital staff that had to come see this big baby they had heard all about.

Big brother came up and he was shy as usual and I dont think he knew what to think of her. Daddys friend Eric drove us home from the hospital. She was a good baby, very rarely got sick, and the 'terriable twos' wasnt terrible at all. She developed fast, never liked baby food, she wanted the real thing! She gave up the bottle and started walking before she turned a year old. One thing that stuck with her for a looooong time was her binky. I gave her one right away when she was born because she was sucking on her hands and I didnt want her to become a thumb sucker thinking it would be easier to break her of the binky then the thumb. Well she was really attached to that binky, I should have bought stock in binkys we went through so many. We always had to have a few back ups, god forbid we loose one! The binky lasted till she was almost 7! Yeah it got to the point were I would tell her 'if you want it you keep track of it' and she would too! She always made sure I had one in my purse when we went somewhere and even started to get embarrassed by it and would only have it when no one was around. Then one day after me suggesting for at least a year, she just decided she was done with it. So I put the last one in my jewelery box and there is were it still sits.

Grace is going to be 13 years old at the end of this month. And it seems like yesterday that she was born. I cant believe how time flys! She is still a good kid! She has an old soul. She gets along great with adults and is very mature for her age, she always has been. But she is not mature in a bad way like some of these 13 year olds are today out there. She is not 'fast'. She is not trying to grow up and act like an idiot and boy crazy and make up crazy and party crazy, ugh I dont know what I would do if she acted like a typical teenager. She has a very good head on her shoulders and I am so proud of the lil lady she is becoming.

Grace is a clothes and shoes alcoholic. She loves the mall and shopping! She has a great sense of style. Some styles dad doesnt like lol but she doesnt try to get away with anything over the top, and is respectful of his wishes. Grace is a daddys girl, she always has been.

I dont mind at all. I am happy they have the bond they do. Her and I also have a great bond, I love her dearly but we do but heads sometimes. Sometimes I wish she would just crawl up in my lap twirl my hair, cuddle and fall asleep like when she was little. I will always hold on to and cherish the memories of her like that. I look forward to the great memories that will come!

July: The heart of summer! Americas birthday! It is also 2 of the most important females in my life birthdays month; my mother & my daughter. It is also a bitter month as a reminder of when I lost my grandmother.
This month in my blog I will feature all 3 of the above mentioned. They all have effected my life in such a way I dont know what i would do with out them. Although my gramma is on the other side she is still with me and the things she taught me while here still are certainly still with me!
America the beutiful and we sure know how to celebrate it! Fireworks have seemily been none stop since before the 1st of the month and will continue for the next couple weeks. My poor pregnant dog is a nervous wreck which I am sure is not good for her in her condition. But we will comfort her as much as possiable. My cat I have to laugh at... He is 7 years old and has heard fireworks and storms ect several times. SO I dont understand while all the sudden while there are fireworks going on he is doing an army crawl from one room to the next like he is under attack! I feel bad that he is scared but at the same time its hillarious to watch him.

I remember The days surrounding his birth like they were yesterday (just dont ask me what actually happened yesterday cuz that I dont remember(lol).
The day before I went into full blown labor I new it was gonna happen any second. I had been having braxton hicks contractions all day, everywheere we went my husband brought a towel for under my butt incase my water broke. We were telling family and friends I was in labor. The next day that I actaully went into full blown labor was a Sunday morning, it was Mothers Day. I woke up to use the bathroom and get ready for the day. As soon as I sat up in bed, gush my water had broke or so I thought. My mother made me eat a quik breakfast before we left for the hospital knowing they wouldnt feed me untill after I gave birth. Once at the hospital they wanted to "check' me and come to find out my water wasnt actuall broke it was just my mucus plug. After walking around for an hour or so my water did actually break on its own. That was like opening a flood gate, I had ALOT of water!! Then in bed hooked to all kinds of wires is how I spent the remainder of the day. At some point during the day I was transferred to a very nice labor and delivery room it was very cozy and had plenty of room for all my visitors. My labor was thankfully very smooth. I was having good contractions but no pain. The Dr's and nurses kept asking in amazement was I sure i didnt need anything for pain. The kept saying 'wow your still smileing". Around dinner time the nurse brought in a beutiful dinner, I was starved and then I find out its not for me I cant have it! Daddy enjoyed it , jerk lol. I was still feeling pretty good going into the evening, I was dialated to a 6 only and they started giving me patosin to get me going faster. That was about the same time my sister scared me into getting an epidural. I am glad i did because the pain did start to come, boiy did it! Within a very short time of getting the patoson and epidural I started to feel the pressure and need to push. I told the nurse to please check and she said "no way i just did I am sure it hasnt changed", well she was wrong I was fully efaced and ready to push! At this point it got kinda crazy. The nurse and intern had me pushing pushing pushing and I was getting wore out fast. Plus I felt like i was on fire down below. I didnt know at the time but come to find out later, the reason for the "burning" was becasue of "ripping". I had my mom on one leg and my hubby holding the other leg. My sister was standing by my head. I wasnt suppossed to have that many people in there but we got away with it. After what seemed like forever and the hardest thing I ever had to do, he was out. They had to getting him going he wasnt breathing as good as they wanted him to, NICU had to come in put a tube down his throat and clear him up. in the meantime i am in screaming miserable pain getting sewed up from stem to stern! Finally i got to hold my precious baby boy. It was the most amazing thing ever! He was 9 pounds 10 ounces and 21 inches long born at 9 ish at night. Back then they still kept the babys in the nursery. So off he went and I got to get showered and cleaned up and settled in my room. They brought him to me one more time that night. My mom and hubby went out for a celebration beer and brought me back McDonalds. The next day at the hospital was busy busy busy. Coty was brought to me bright and early for feeding. I tried the breast feeding thing but it just wasnt working for me. There were all kinds of classes available. But I choose not to take any. I was perfectly content spending time alone with my baby in between having family and friends come to see him.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I could go on and on about my son. He has been such a joy and still is. I have so many stories about him. He was very sick when he was a baby and that was very scary, but we got through it and he was ok. He was always a quiet kid and he still is. He can be a comedian though really and often has us cracking up. He has always loved his animals, weather it was a hamster he was putting in a tonka truck and crashing it, or a bird in his pocket or a dog he thought would like to have a "fun ride" via hanging it from its leash around the swingset! He is mommas boy even if he wouldnt admit it. I have been told how much he looks like me, but I see his dad in him too.

Over the years of studying The Secret and the law of attraction, I have learned soooo much, and I have become a better person for it. I am not the same person I was 5 years ago in more ways then one. To really live the secret isnt easy, it takes practice,dedication and faith. It will always always always pay off! I have seen it work for myself and countless others around the world. It has helped me through alot of tuff times for sure! But thinking about all the aspects of The law of attraction, there is one thing that sticks out to be most important above all else. Gratitude. Gratitude creates abundance, happiness, and so much more. Gratitudde doesnt alllow you to be sad. Sadness is void of gratitude. Everyone has things to be thankful for no matter what. It can be from the very simplest of things to the most extavagant of things. When I am beginning to get stressed out about one thing or another I go to gratitude. Think about what you are thankful for already haveing or had someone, something or experiance. The next aspect I feel sticks out is thoughts become things, but I wont go into that this post. If you are being thankful you are probally thinking good thoughts so they go hand in hand. Oprah is big on gratitude and I guess for many years she has been keeping a gratitude journal. She faithfully writes at least 5 things in it everyday. She says, "it could be as simple as someone holding the door open for you". I want to keep a gratitude journal as well. So here it is lol the beginning of my gratitude journal.

I have said it before I think he is just so great! Below is a sample of something from his newsletter and the links to check out the newsletter for yourself.</em><br /><br /><br />Hello My Friends, <br />High on the universal list of healing, peace-inducing, inspiring activities is getting back to nature. It’s always been true for me, and I’m sure it’s true for you, too. I’m blessed with a place to live that’s a haven of all natural beauty—the ocean and its creatures, the plants and flowers and trees, the amazing birds. When I’m on Maui writing, I make it a weekly practice to drive halfway around the island to a lush spot with a stunning waterfall that empties into a refreshing pool, where I spend several hours swimming and meditating while the water cascades down on me. In those moments it feels as if God has entered my consciousness, and a rapturous feeling of contentment overwhelms me. There’s no confusion, no worry, no fear…nothing but pure ecstasy and a lightness of being. In these moments, which I cherish deeply, I always receive the answers I seek.<br /><br />You will also find your answers in nature, because God is nature: unspoiled, untended, alive in stillness, and teeming with life. When you’re there, you’ll begin to see the miraculousness of every cubic inch of space. You’ll feel the presence of an energy that you may have lost touch with in your daily life, and that energy is in you, just as it is in all of the flora and fauna. The creative spirit of God or Tao is so easy to align with when you’re in a natural, unpretentious setting.<br /><br />I hope you have a place where you can always find the miraculous. Go there often, in person when you can, and every day in your heart and mind. Watching the rain from your window or the clouds from your backyard qualifies, too. Watch with gratitude and love and you will feel yourself becoming part of the miraculous. <br /><br />Love you,<br /> Wayne<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZvZOsHOcdZWSGkCRi2seSC-T-84HfYD8sYWcgZeEcb052p09-YeBbM7Oztw0zBciXEXsGjnWSfndHMV3nLc06QedN_cih72pyz6tzSytZYKjpq_bU6WGxDy8l0VAuDc10kClhIrygzVM/s1600/dyer_enews_02.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 176px; height: 255px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1ZvZOsHOcdZWSGkCRi2seSC-T-84HfYD8sYWcgZeEcb052p09-YeBbM7Oztw0zBciXEXsGjnWSfndHMV3nLc06QedN_cih72pyz6tzSytZYKjpq_bU6WGxDy8l0VAuDc10kClhIrygzVM/s400/dyer_enews_02.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5732583268475151090" /></a><br /><br />Ensure delivery of your Dr. Wayne W.

Stress or any tension at all is something you have to remove from your system. <br /><br />You must let the stress go - it is the only way you can bring what you want. The emotion of stress is saying strongly that you do NOT have what you want. Stress or tension is the absence of faith, and so to remove it all you have to do is increase your faith!<br /> <br /> <br /> <br />May the joy be with you,<br /> <br /><br />Rhonda Byrne<br /> <br /><br />The Secret... bringing joy to billions<br />Copyright 2007-2012 TS Production LLC.

Its no secret I am not a church person at all. I am very spiritual & never have a problems talking about my beliefs but this is not the blog post for that :) The reason for the post is mainly to highlight the program on Oprahs network OWN (www.oprah.com/own. I think this show is great! Every week Oprah has a new guest. The guest is usually a inspirational speaker i.e. Dr. Wayne Dyer & Tony Robbins. They all have had great messages filled with positive enlightenment. The show is perfect for church goers and us non church goers alike. Regardless if you are religious or spiritual or not, there is nothing wrong with some positive messages. Oprah delivers no problem!!

She really made sense with the things she was saying. There was a man named Steve and he had a story of past addiction and he was still struggling with many things in life. She has him stand in the audience and then anyone else from the audience that has ever suffered from addiction, knew someone, was related to someone, married to someone etc. She wanted to show him he was not alone.And everyone was "standing with Steve" it was a very moving moment! She was giving life advise and wisdom and like I said it all made sense! So that is why I wanted to profile her here on my blog. Dr. Vanzant is such a powerful posative life force! She has several books out and I plan on getting my hands on as many of them as I can. </em><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />INFORMATION FROM DR.

Dr. Iyanla (pronounced E-Yan-La) Vanzant likes to call herself "just an ordinary person." She loves to shop at Wal-Mart. She is a Law and Order re-run junkie. She has never missed an episode of Top Chef and she is greatly grieved over Simon leaving American Idol. On Sundays she organizes her linen closet which includes ironing sheets and pillow cases. In her spare time she is a master scrapbook maker and an avid scrapbook supply shopper. She goes out in the snow to make sure the birds have food in their feeders and when her friends know she is cooking, they drop everything to rush over. And while she loves to do the things that ordinary people do, Iyanla has proven herself to be somewhat . . . . Extraordinary. <br /><br /><em>Read her full story on her website http://www.iyanla.com/ </em>Kellyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02474016745063853996noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6158399594114709627.post-33198953234117467832012-03-28T06:23:00.000-07:002012-03-28T06:23:00.414-07:00Secret ScrollsA Secret Scrolls message from Rhonda Byrne<br /> Creator of The Secret <br /><br /> <br />From The Secret Daily Teachings <br />If you make time to list all the things you are grateful for, and you feel the feelings of gratitude, you will feel amazing every day.
